In this chapel is the burying place of the family of Kilravock & here they have been interred for many generations back. Lady Kilravock & her husband Hugh Rose of Geddes, obtained a charter from King John Baliol in the year 1293, Conferring to them & to their heirs the lands of Geddes & Kilravock. The Charter of foundation of the Chapel of Easter Geddes, part of the walls of which is still extant & granted by Hugh Rose of Kilravock bears date 1473. This Chapel was dedicated to the Virgin Mary, & endowed with 5 £ seats of stipend, together with a small croft as a glebe & on which to erect a manse. The bull of priveleges for said Chapel is dated at Rome 26th April 1475, in the 4th year of Pope Sextus the fourth".
